Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Are Close to Announcing Divorce
“They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them,” an informant tells the outlet. “At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldn’t. Honestly, in the end they could not come to a compromise. What they had before is gone and they have both accepted it,” the source continued.
The divorce news likely won’t come as a shock to many fans. Affleck and Lopez haven’t been seen in public together in weeks. They’ve also spent the majority of the summer on opposite coasts. JLo has been partying with her friends in the Hamptons. Meanwhile, Affleck has remained in Los Angeles.
After the duo completely ignored their second wedding anniversary, it seemed clear that there were major issues in their marriage. As Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday without Affleck, the actor opted to buy a $20 million bachelor pad.
Both Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly looking toward the next chapter of their lives. JLo is said to want a fresh start and may even move back to New York. Meanwhile, Affleck is reportedly ready to put the drama of their marriage behind him and even wants to celebrate with a big party.
Despite their allegedly impending divorce, Jennifer Lopez will also be connected to Ben Affleck. The couple are one of Hollywood’s most talked about celebrity pairings. In addition, their children have grown very close, and reportedly consider each other family no matter what.
